Vaccinations Your Baby Needs The schedule on page 68 shows each vaccine your baby gets, up to six years. It also shows how many doses of each vaccine and when to get them. It’s based on the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention (CDC) vaccination schedule. The CDC has done lots of research to make sure vaccination schedules are safe for children. All childhood vaccines are given in two or
more doses. Your baby needs more than one dose because each one builds up immunity, which is the body’s protection from disease. A second or third dose is needed for full
protection. These doses work best if they’re spread out over time. Your baby may get more than one shot at a time. Don’t worry! Even a newborn can handle many shots at once.
Risks or Side Effects Most babies don’t have side effects from vac- cines. If they do, they usually aren’t serious. Some vaccines may cause a low fever, rash or soreness at the spot where the shot was given. These reactions are good signs that your baby’s off infections.
